[nysbirds-l] Nickerson Beach seabirds

[Isaac Grant]

Not to be a buzzkill but just want to remind people that while situations like 
this are great for birders they are very bad for the birds. While walking into 
the beach I was literally hit by a Great Shearwater near the entrance. Talking 
to a beach employee he told me that 25 were taken in to a rehabber on Long 
Beach and we found at least 10 exhausted birds that they were holding over 
night at Nickerson. All birds seemed well fed and they just had no energy left. 
Near dark I took 2 more out of the surf and put them behind little sand castles 
to shelter them from the wind. Very sad to see. 

During my time seawatching I had the following. 

75+ Great Shearwater
5 Corey's
1 Manx
2 Sooty
1 Parastic Jaeger came onshore at sundown and buzzed the east Tern colony. 
Also had an adult Arctic Tern on the beach of the east Tern colony as well. 
5 Roseate Terns sitting on beach

[nysbirds-l] Pacific Loon - Cupsogue, Suffolk

[Mike McBrien]

Doug Futuyma and I seawatched from Cupsogue this morning from about 7:45-10. 
Our watch was highlighted by an breeding-plumaged adult Pacific Loon, that 
passed by westbound fairly close to shore. Seabird numbers were very low, 
compared to recent days and the flights going on this morning well to the west.

Best,
Mike McBrien

[nysbirds-l] Robert Moses S.P. Sea Watching 6/18

[Steve Walter]

I spent the morning sea watching at Robert Moses State Park Field 2 from
about 6:30 (not seriously until the fog eased around 8:30) to 12:30 (when
the fog thickened again). Also joining in the effort were (until about
10:30) Brent Bomkamp, Pat Palladino, and Taylor Sturm, and (from about 11 to
12) Pat Lindsay, Shai Mitra, and Peter Morris. Actually, I have to give them
more credit than that, as they picked out a lot more birds than I did. But I
think I did a decent job of being the scribe. So here is what I scribed. 



Great Shearwater - 119

Cory's Shearwater - 23

Sooty Shearwater - 1

Shearwater sp. - 21 (most earlier on when denser fog added to the ID
difficulty; Brent thought one may have been a Manx, but too difficult to
confirm).

Wilson's Sturm-Petrel - 6

 

One amusing sequence involved two Great Shearwaters, closer in than
expected, and a swimmer, further out than expected. The shearwaters slowed
down to investigate the swimmer, with the second one actually landing very
close to him. It flapped its wings at him (or something like that) a bit
before moving on.

 

Afterwards in the parking lot, a few Larus fuscus americanus (well, they
might be in a few thousand years). 

 

I didn't know about the Brown Booby until I was already at Robert Moses. As
I've mentioned before, I get the reports off the archives. I don't know how
well that always works. I'm pretty sure I checked last night and the booby
reports hadn't made it to the archives yet. I know that when I looked this
morning, it was obvious why I choose not to get the e-mails. I see a lot of
reports of things like Yellow Warbler getting in the way of the reports I
really need. Why? Okay, Steve, be nice, stop your rant right there.

[nysbirds-l] Seabird action Queens coastal...

[Andrew Baksh]

I have been out all day birding Queens and with the fog somewhat lifting about 
1/2 ago, I began to slowly pick up bird life off the Ocean.  Cory's (mostly), 
Great, and Sooty Shearwaters. I won't go so far as to call it a flight since 
there is no sustained streaming by of birds.

However, there is a bit of feeding frenzy in several areas on the ocean, 
visible from Breezy, Riis and Tilden. Birds seemed to be milling around fishing 
boats Brooklyn IV and V. This is where I have been picking up the Shearwaters. 
I have even managed digiscoped shots of some Tubenoses. How bout dat.

Other highlights included Roseate (5) and Royal Terns (4) 

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] FRANKLIN'S GULL - Northport, Suffolk Co.

[Taylor Sturm]

Hello!!
At 8:00 pm (high tide) an adult FRANKLIN'S GULL was loafing with around 20
Laughing Gulls on the close sandbar at Crab Meadow Beach in Northport,
Suffolk County.
After just a few minutes, the birds were flushed by a group of small kids
and they all flew strongly west.  I stayed until it was getting too dark to
see but they didn't come back.
I'm not aware of how early they start charging at this beach, but it costs
$30.00 to get in when they are (free with a Town of Huntington Beach Pass).
Good birding,
Taylor Sturm

Re: [nysbirds-l] Brown Booby specimen

[Ardith Bondi]

Is there any indication as to what might have led to her weakened state? 
Will any effort be made to determine that further?

Re: [nysbirds-l] Brown Booby is deceased

[Tim Healy]

Sad to hear, and unfortunately not surprising based on her behavior yesterday. 
Is there any chance that the body can be collected safely? Going to a museum or 
research center would be the best possible end to her story at this point. If 
the roping for the colony and the nesting birds are obstacles, perhaps the 
local researchers could be alerted so they could gather the remains. 

Cheers,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Brown Booby specimen

[Ardith Bondi]

Is there any indication as to what might have led to her weakened state? 
Will any effort be made to determine that further?

[nysbirds-l] Pacific Loon - Cupsogue, Suffolk

[Mike McBrien]

Doug Futuyma and I seawatched from Cupsogue this morning from about 7:45-10. 
Our watch was highlighted by an breeding-plumaged adult Pacific Loon, that 
passed by westbound fairly close to shore. Seabird numbers were very low, 
compared to recent days and the flights going on this morning well to the west.

Best,
Mike McBrien

[nysbirds-l] Robert Moses S.P. Sea Watching 6/18

[Steve Walter]

I spent the morning sea watching at Robert Moses State Park Field 2 from
about 6:30 (not seriously until the fog eased around 8:30) to 12:30 (when
the fog thickened again). Also joining in the effort were (until about
10:30) Brent Bomkamp, Pat Palladino, and Taylor Sturm, and (from about 11 to
12) Pat Lindsay, Shai Mitra, and Peter Morris. Actually, I have to give them
more credit than that, as they picked out a lot more birds than I did. But I
think I did a decent job of being the scribe. So here is what I scribed. 



Great Shearwater - 119

Cory's Shearwater - 23

Sooty Shearwater - 1

Shearwater sp. - 21 (most earlier on when denser fog added to the ID
difficulty; Brent thought one may have been a Manx, but too difficult to
confirm).

Wilson's Sturm-Petrel - 6

 

One amusing sequence involved two Great Shearwaters, closer in than
expected, and a swimmer, further out than expected. The shearwaters slowed
down to investigate the swimmer, with the second one actually landing very
close to him. It flapped its wings at him (or something like that) a bit
before moving on.

 

Afterwards in the parking lot, a few Larus fuscus americanus (well, they
might be in a few thousand years). 

 

I didn't know about the Brown Booby until I was already at Robert Moses. As
I've mentioned before, I get the reports off the archives. I don't know how
well that always works. I'm pretty sure I checked last night and the booby
reports hadn't made it to the archives yet. I know that when I looked this
morning, it was obvious why I choose not to get the e-mails. I see a lot of
reports of things like Yellow Warbler getting in the way of the reports I
really need. Why? Okay, Steve, be nice, stop your rant right there.

[nysbirds-l] Seabird action Queens coastal...

[Andrew Baksh]

I have been out all day birding Queens and with the fog somewhat lifting about 
1/2 ago, I began to slowly pick up bird life off the Ocean.  Cory's (mostly), 
Great, and Sooty Shearwaters. I won't go so far as to call it a flight since 
there is no sustained streaming by of birds.

However, there is a bit of feeding frenzy in several areas on the ocean, 
visible from Breezy, Riis and Tilden. Birds seemed to be milling around fishing 
boats Brooklyn IV and V. This is where I have been picking up the Shearwaters. 
I have even managed digiscoped shots of some Tubenoses. How bout dat.

Other highlights included Roseate (5) and Royal Terns (4) 

Cheers,


"I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of 
others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick 
Douglass

[nysbirds-l] Nickerson Beach seabirds

[Isaac Grant]

Not to be a buzzkill but just want to remind people that while situations like 
this are great for birders they are very bad for the birds. While walking into 
the beach I was literally hit by a Great Shearwater near the entrance. Talking 
to a beach employee he told me that 25 were taken in to a rehabber on Long 
Beach and we found at least 10 exhausted birds that they were holding over 
night at Nickerson. All birds seemed well fed and they just had no energy left. 
Near dark I took 2 more out of the surf and put them behind little sand castles 
to shelter them from the wind. Very sad to see. 

During my time seawatching I had the following. 

75+ Great Shearwater
5 Corey's
1 Manx
2 Sooty
1 Parastic Jaeger came onshore at sundown and buzzed the east Tern colony. 
Also had an adult Arctic Tern on the beach of the east Tern colony as well. 
5 Roseate Terns sitting on beach

[nysbirds-l] FRANKLIN'S GULL - Northport, Suffolk Co.

[Taylor Sturm]

Hello!!
At 8:00 pm (high tide) an adult FRANKLIN'S GULL was loafing with around 20
Laughing Gulls on the close sandbar at Crab Meadow Beach in Northport,
Suffolk County.
After just a few minutes, the birds were flushed by a group of small kids
and they all flew strongly west.  I stayed until it was getting too dark to
see but they didn't come back.
I'm not aware of how early they start charging at this beach, but it costs
$30.00 to get in when they are (free with a Town of Huntington Beach Pass).
Good birding,
Taylor Sturm
